The requirements and guidelines in becoming a CNA are different depending on where you are planning to work but one of their common requirements is that you must be able to complete a training program before you are allowed to handle any patient or resident. When you are looking for a training program to enroll in, you should remember to only select one that is approved by the state. This is to ensure that you will be allowed to apply for the license exams after you complete your training. Depending on the program you choose, you can complete your training within 6 months. As a nursing assistant student, you will be educated and trained on all the knowledge and skills that you will be using to take care of the patients. It is important that you must have at least 30 hours of clinical duties and 45 hours of classroom instructions and skills training. Even as a student, you will already be exposed to the clinical area for your duties.

Once you are finished with all the prerequisites for the license exams, you can then send in your application. The license exams for this state are conducted by several testing centers. The exams can also be conducted at your own training facility. For more information, you can call (515) 242-5991. You can only work in the state if you have passed the exams and your name is entered in the registry. Once in the state registry you are eligible to work for two consecutive years. If you do not work during that time you will have to retest to remain in good standing.
